On December 11, 2552, the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn was destroyed. Half of the ship appeared in the ocean with Thel 'Vadam. And the other half drifted out in space with Cortana and Master Chief, a.k.a. John-117. The very next year, on December 11, 2553, the crew on the UNSC Past Life was awoken. Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells, the CO of the Past Life entered the bridge and saw all of his men awake already and asked, "What's going on? Why were we awoken?"

Captain Veronica Yates answered, "We're working on that sir."

Master Chief Petty Officer Roland Weaver said, "Woah, we drifted out pretty far, sir."

Kurtis asked, "How far did we drift off?"

Roland answered, "700 billion+ light years from Earth."

Kurtis heard that and said, "So we're out of the Sol System?"

Veronica answered, "Yep. Just look at these planets. I've never seen anything like them."

Kurtis heard that and looked at the 6 planets in Gelio Galaxy and Roland said, "We're currently close to Freozar, Gelio Galaxy, Rivera Prime System."

Kurtis said, "Are we capable of contacting HQ? Or any other UNSC ship out there?"

Ensign Thomas Cape said, "We could try. But we can't promise anything."

Kurtis said, "Just do it, Cape."

Thomas said, "Yessir."

He used their comms and said, "Any station, this is GIF-396 UNSC Past Life, does anyone read us?"

There was no answer and Ensign Danielle Frost said, "I think that I found a signal down there on Freozar."

Kurtis said, "A signal on Freozar. Like a station."

Danielle answered, "Yessir."

Kurtis said, "Alright, could you contact them to see if we could get info on what the hell is going on here?"

Danielle answered, "Sure thing. I'll give it a try."

Danielle tried to get the signal right and then said, "Station on Freozar, this is the UNSC Past Life, does anyone copy?"

They waited for an answer and then a girl's voice appeared and said, "UNSC Past Life. I thought that ship was out of order in the late 2100's."

Kurtis heard that and said, "Nope, we didn't get destroyed. We've drifted here. This is Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells, who are we speaking to?"

The girl answered, "Rivera. I'm a AI. You are a long way from home."

Kurtis said, "An AI. Shit, technology is quite amazing."

Danielle asked, "Do you know the reason why we were awoken here?"

Rivera heard that and answered, "Nope. Come get me. I just sent my location to you."

Kurtis said, "We got them."

Rivera ended transmission and Danielle said, "She ended the transmission."

Kurtis sighed and asked, "How are you doing, Cape?"

Thomas answered, "We got nothing, sir. We can't contact anyone from here."

Kurtis said, "Alright, Yates, get a team and get down there and get that AI. And bring her back."

Veronica said, "Yessir."

Kurtis said, "Doc, you probably already know what I'm about to ask."

Dr. Georgia Anderson answered, "You want me to figure out why we were awoken. And how?"

Kurtis said, "Exactly. Get to work."

Georgia said, "I already started."

Kurtis smiled and said, "You are always a step ahead of me."

Georgia said, "Well, I love being ahead."

Kurtis said, "Yes you do."

Veronica and 3rd Tech Squad entered a Pelican and took off. Veronica said, "Take us as close as you can to the coordinates."

The pilot said, "Yes ma'am."

Kurtis said, "Stay in contact, Yates."

Veronica said, "Understood, sir."

Kurtis said, "Cape, keep trying to get through to other ships or stations. Gates, I would like you to check if the engines are running like they are supposed to. Take Watkins and Henry with you."

Lieutenant William Gates said, "Yessir. Let's go Watkins and Henry, he gave us orders."

Lieutenant Michael Henry said, "Sure thing."

Lieutenant Marcus Watkins asked, "Where to?"

William answered, "Engine room."

They ran there and then Kurtis said, "Drake, I want you to collect a team and check if our weapon systems are online."

Lieutenant Junior Grade Michelle Drake said, "Yessir. Wait, I get to choose."

Kurtis answered, "Yes. Get going."

Michelle said, "Yessir."

She grabbed 5 people and then went to the terminal where the weapon systems are located. Kurtis said, "Allen, I need you to get weapons for everyone on the ship. We just woke up from cryosleep."

Ensign Carlos Allen said, "Understood sir."

Kurtis looked at the area around him and then Veronica's team just arrived by Froza River and said, "We just landed on Freozar, we'll contact you as soon as we arrive at the location where the AI is."

Kurtis said, "Understood."

Veronica said, "Let's move out."

They said, "Yes ma'am."

They ran toward the coordinates and Kurtis said, "Keep an eye on her location Frost. And tell them when they arrived."

Danielle said, "Yessir."

5 minutes later, Danielle said, "You are 50 feet away from the coordinates."

Veronica heard that and said, "I see it. Thank you, Frost."

Danielle said, "No problem."

Veronica said, "On me. And quietly."

They nodded and then walked slowly toward the building aiming their weapons toward the building and around them to make sure that no enemies appear out of nowhere and then Veronica saw the sign and said, "Froza Technology."

Danielle said, "Froza Technology. That's a UNSC place where some of the weapons are created."

Kurtis said, "Well, if that's the case. We're going to need those weapons, Yates."

Veronica said, "Yessir."

They entered the building slowly and saw a terminal and Veronica whispered, "On me."

As soon as they entered the dark place, the lights turned on and everyone looked around and then Dr. Trevor Roberts appeared and said, "Calm down, ma'am. It's a human."

Veronica said, "Alright, weapons down."

Trevor said, "Sorry for scaring you. We have to keep our lights off to keep the enemies away."

Veronica heard that and said, "We're here to pick up an AI known as Rivera."

Trevor said, "Ah yes, she said that she was waiting for soldiers to appear. But those uniforms are old fashioned. How many soldiers are on the UNSC Past Life?"

Veronica said, "Hold up."

Trevor said, "Hurry up. We're losing time."

Rivera appeared and answered, "2,000 soldiers."

Kurtis said, "We have a total of 2,163 soldiers."

Veronica said, "2,163 soldiers. Wait, isn't that the date that we entered cryosleep, sir."

Kurtis answered, "Yes. And it's also the same number of crew members."

Veronica said, "Alright. 2,163 soldiers."

Trevor said, "Alright. If you can take us to safety. We could get you everything that you need for the new world."

Veronica said, "Sir, they are asking to come aboard."

Kurtis asked, "Are there any UNSC soldiers around?"

Veronica asked, "My CO asks if there are any other UNSC soldiers around."

Trevor answered, "Nope. Everyone is dead. We're all that's left."

Danielle said, "He's telling the truth. The entire island is dark except for the red areas."

Kurtis asked, "What are the red areas?"

Danielle answered, "Enemy territory."

Kurtis heard that and said, "My god. Alright, get them on board. I'm sending two Pelicans to you now."

Veronica said, "Understood."

Veronica grabbed Rivera's chip and then put it away and then Veronica asked, "Do you mind if we take the weapons?"

Trevor asked, "Why ask? We're going with you."

Veronica said, "Sorry, it's a habit of mine."

Trevor said, "I see."

Veronica said, "Turn the lights off, turn radios off till we get on to the Pelicans. Grab as many weapons as we can. Now, before we leave, do you know of anything about this threat?"

Dr. Sabrina Long answered, "Yes. They seem to have been created."

Senior Chief Petty Officer Abigail Cline said, "Like robots?"

Sabrina said, "Close. But a lot different."

Veronica said, "Interesting."

Everyone grabbed 7 guns and put them behind themselves and then Trevor said, "Grab all of the data on our terminals so the enemies don't get them."

They started working and then the pilots said, "We have arrived outside of Froza Technology."

Veronica said, "Hurry up. Our ride is here."

Everyone said, "Ready. Let's go."

Everyone started running toward the Pelicans and Kurtis said, "Oh, that's not good."

The pilots asked, "What's wrong?"

Kurtis answered, "As soon as they get on, evacuate immediately. We're getting a lot of movement down there."

They said, "Yessir. Is everyone on?"

Trevor said, "We're missing one person."

Veronica sighed and said, "Hurry up."

Dr. Eleanor Watson ran toward the Pelican and then Veronica said, "Take off."

Eleanor jumped up and Veronica caught her and hit the latch and the hatch closed and then Eleanor said, "I'm sorry. There was a lot of data on my computer."

Veronica said, "Get us out of here and fast."

The pilots said, "We're already a step ahead of you. We got a lot of movement down there like the boss said."

Veronica heard that and looked at the radar and said, "Damn, that's a lot of movement."

Captain Isaac Gray said, "They got out safely, sir."

Kurtis said, "Good. Yates, as soon as you get back on to the ship, take the new members of our crew to the Tech Labs. That is where they could work."

Veronica said, "Yessir."

Kurtis said, "Also, hand the AI to Cline so she could put it into the terminal."

Veronica said, "Understood, sir."

Kurtis said, "Good. How are the engines?"

William said, "Almost there, sir. We just need another 5 minutes."

Kurtis said, "Alright. We have 5 minutes. How about you Drake? Are the weapons online?"

Michelle answered, "Yessir. Do you wish for us to do anything else?"

Kurtis answered, "Yes actually. We can't get in contact with any UNSC ship or station. I need you to check the lines. Because it seems that everything was turned off when we got to this location."

Michelle said, "Understood."

Danielle said, "Sir, we have unidentified ships flying toward us."

Kurtis heard that and looked forward and said, "Those are, what exactly?"

Danielle said, "It's the enemy."

Kurtis said, "Then get the weapons to take them out, Dalton."

Commander Walter Dalton said, "Yessir. Weapons Team, shoot them down."

The bullets started shooting at the enemy ship and then an explosion occurred and Danielle said, "6 o'clock, there are 5 enemy vessels. At our 9 o'clock, there are 8 enemy vessels. At our 12 o'clock, we got 5 enemy vessels. And at our 3 o'clock, we got 4 enemy vessels."

Walter said, "Understood. Shoot them down men."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

The two Pelicans entered the docking bay and then Veronica said, "Pelicans have landed."

Kurtis said, "Alright. Get everyone to work."

Veronica said, "Yessir. Cline, you'll be taking Rivera to the bridge."

Abigail said, "Sure thing."

Veronica handed the chip to her and Abigail walked to the bridge, while Veronica took the doctors from Froza Technology to the Tech Labs, while the rest of the squad took the weapons to the Armory. Abigail appeared in the bridge and said, "Sir, I have the chip."

Kurtis heard that and said, "Attach her into the terminal, Cline."

Abigail asked, "How do I do that, sir?"

Kurtis sighed and answered, "Hand it to me."

Abigail said, "Yessir."

She did and Kurtis put the chip into the terminal and Abigail said, "Oh, it was that easy."

Kurtis said, "Yep, it was that easy."

Rivera appeared and said, "You seem to be a good commanding officer."

Kurtis said, "Well, I do my best to stay on everyone's good side. So, let's try..."

Georgia said, "Sir, I think that I found out how we were awoken."

Kurtis heard that and said, "I'm listenin."

Georgia said, "There was an electrical surge that hit the ship. Causing the ship to exit slipspace. And making us appear here."

Kurtis said, "Meaning that we were lured here."

Georgia answered, "Yes. We were set up by whatever were just attacking us."

Kurtis heard that and Rivera said, "The enemies have a name. They are known as T-93. Robotic beings that don't care who or what you are. They were created to annihilate all of humanity."

Kurtis said, "So, the T-93 lured us here to kill us."

Rivera said, "Most likely. But I don't think that they expected to wake you guys up in the process."

Kurtis said, "Meaning that we're at an advantage against them."

Rivera said, "Yep."

Kurtis said, "That's good."

Georgia said, "There's more sir."

Kurtis said, "Sorry, please continue."

Georgia said, "I found this while we were retrieving you, Rivera. Listen to it."

She put it on to the terminal and an image of one of them appeared and said, "Humans, I see that you drifted into our solar system. I'm Uzi, leader of my people. The T-93. We're robotic beings created by a human known as Dr. Tyrone Williams. He was killed by a human known as Fleet Admiral Lory Long. So we started killing humans just to get to her. Killing you will be easy. Enjoy your stay here in our atmosphere."

Rivera said, "Yep, that was the leader alright. He killed everyone that I was supposed to protect."

Kurtis said, "Shit, we can't leave him at large if he's willing to kill all humans. We can't allow him to be at large everyone. It seems that we'll be staying here to kill them. Get your weapons ready."

Carlos said, "Don't rush me sir."

Kurtis said, "Oh, you aren't done yet. Keep going then."

William said, "We finished sir."

Kurtis said, "Good. Come on back. Now, how are you doing, Drake?"

Michelle answered, "The wires are all fine, but they weren't attached to anything. We're attaching them now. But the comms should be online now. Try to contact base."

Thomas said, "Any station or ship, this is GIF-396 UNSC Past Life, does anyone read us?"

Everyone waited and then Captain Andrew Del Rio heard that and said, "UNSC Past Life, this is the UNSC Infinity. Where have you been?"

Kurtis answered, "We've been in cryosleep till we got interrupted at a planet known as Freozar."

Andrew heard that and said, "A UNSC colony."

Kurtis said, "Not anymore. All humans were eliminated except for the people at Froza Technology. We saved them already. Our situation is quite dear to be in fact."

Andrew asked, "What's the situation?"

Kurtis asked, "Have you ever heard of a being known as T-93?"

Andrew said, "That's classified information. How do you know about them?"

Kurtis answered, "They killed all of the citizens on Freozar. And are after one soldier. Fleet Admiral Lory Long for killing their master. Their leader will kill every human till he gets what he wants. And I don't plan on letting that happen."

Andrew heard that and then Rivera said, "They've been in cryosleep for 390 years."

Andrew asked, "Who is this?"

Commander Thomas Lasky answered, "That's their AI, Rivera."

Andrew said, "A 390 year old AI."

Kurtis said, "AI's never existed back then. This is new technology to us. She's from Froza Technology. She'll be riding with us as well."

Andrew said, "You don't have any clearance to any of that technology, soldier."

Everyone heard that and Kurtis said, "I guess that you don't know who you are talking to Captain Del Rio."

He heard that and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Kurtis said, "I'm Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells. The very first Fleet Admiral in the UNSC."

Lasky said, "Oh, I heard about him, sir."

Andrew asked, "What do you know about him, Lasky?"

Lasky answered, "Fleet Admiral Wells was found in an orphanage. He enrolled into a military school and graduated at the top of his class. He left the school as a Vice Admiral. He completed over 400 missions before entering cryosleep and became well known as the most insane soldier in the UNSC. The day he went missing, they created a statue of him on Reach."

Kurtis said, "Reach? I gotta go there one day."

Lasky said, "The planet was destroyed by the Covenant."

Kurtis said, "You know what, I'll find out what they are later. Right now, my mission is here. I'm not letting them off of this planet."

Andrew looked at their coordinates and said, "They are right above the planet."

Lasky said, "Sir, would you like support?"

Kurtis answered, "Yeah, we could use a little bit of help."

Andrew smiled and said, "Alright, we're going to be sending 3 Spartan teams to your ship."

Kurtis asked, "What the hell is a Spartan?"

Rivera answered, "They are super soldiers."

Kurtis said, "Oh, super soldiers are nice. Send them."

Andrew said, "They'll be there in about 3 days. Do you think that you can hold out that long?"

Kurtis looked at his men and then answered, "We can handle it. I think."

Everyone laughed and then Commander Hector Rush said, "Sir, we have hostiles."

Kurtis said, "You already know what to do Commander."

Hector said, "Yessir."

They started shooting at them and explosions occurred all around the ship and then Rivera said, "Uzi would like to speak with you, sir."

Kurtis said, "Put him on."

Rivera did and Uzi said, "Hello, human."

Kurtis said, "Uzi."

Uzi said, "So you found my decryption codes in your ship. You must have a genius on that ship to find that out."

Kurtis said, "Yep, she is quite smart. Why call me?"

Uzi answered, "You are pissing me off, human. Exchange names."

Kurtis heard that and said, "Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells."

Uzi heard that and said, "You must be a worthy opponent to get to my realm without getting detected, human."

Kurtis said, "You summoned an electrical surge that took us off course."

Uzi said, "The electrical surge brought you here. Hand over the doctors. They need to continue making us."

Kurtis said, "If I say to go fuck yourself? What would happen?"

Uzi laughed and answered, "You are hilarious. We would happily take them from you. By force."

Kurtis said, "Well, you aren't getting them back. They are helping me now. Not you."

Uzi heard that and said, "You can't control humans. You just take over their minds with kindness."

Kurtis said, "I'm not kind at all. If you knew how I do things, then you'd understand."

Uzi said, "You sound like an interesting and worthy opponent for me to crush. I will be the one to kill you. Not anyone else."

Kurtis heard that and asked, "Why do you wish to kill me? And not let anyone else have the pleasure to do so?"

Uzi answered, "You seem different from the rest of the UNSC soldiers we fought and killed. See you soon."

Uzi disappeared and Kurtis said, "His location."

Georgia answered, "Frizae."

Kurtis said, "Alright, let's get a team down there."

Everyone said, "Yessir."
